Mirrors of Joy and Pain
Author Linda Howard Senior, in her first completed book of poetry, Mirrors of Joy and Pain, credits as a primary source of inspiration her family: husband, Carl; sons, Carl Jr., Clayton, Corey; and daughter, Cicely. Her themes have been drawn from every aspect of life, the ups and downs, the challenges, and blessings. Throughout her life, she has been bolstered by faith in God. Even as a very young girl, Linda embraced the desire to overcome the challenges and stay the course for the sake of family. She is thankful for the family with which God has so generously blessed her. She knows it would not have been possible without God's help, and she would have missed so much. Her family has expanded to include grandchildren, Clayton III, Coriona, Miles, Layla, and Mason.Review by Frederick Harper on March 3, 2022: 5.0 out of 5 stars A phenomenal book by Linda H. Senior"I pause to congratulate my former school classmate and author Linda Howard Senior for the phenomenal publication of her book, MIRRORS OF JOY AND PAIN. Linda was valedictorian and I was salutatorian in our 6th grade graduating class, and we both made speeches during the commencement program. I was honored that Linda asked me to write a one-page comment as the "Forward" for her fine book. Within the pages of this book, Linda Howard Senior brings forth her wisdom as a mother, woman, leader, and spiritual soul. Please check out her book."
Narcissistic Mothers
Narcissistic mothers are exhausting. If you have one or have ever had one, you know that walking on eggshells is more than an idiom-it's a way of life. Narcissistic mothers make most people around them (family members, friends, and even therapists) feel crazy. Why is it that no matter what you do or say, they always find a way to fault you? And they do it in such a way that makes you second-guess yourself. They are master manipulators who make the "blame game" their favorite sport. But what if these same exact behaviors could be explained by the fact that your mother is a narcissistic personality?Living with these people can be soul-wrenching because they lack empathy and feed off of the energy of others around them. Their destructive habits can turn every relationship into a mine-field of emotional land mines waiting to go off at any moment. But it doesn't have to be this way.You can change it, and it is completely in your hands. In this book, we are going to deal with the various problems associated with being raised by a narcissistic mother, how it affects your personality, and how you can get out of this toxic environment. I agree that the process might not be easy, and it will take a lot of work. But the most important thing to remember is that healing is not impossible. It takes a lot of courage, patience, and practice. But if you have the right guidance and tools, you can practice healthy habits and develop clear boundaries with your narcissistic mother.I also understand that as a daughter, it is not easy for you to view your mother as a source of negativity in your life, but you also have to understand that it is what it is. Giving in to the blind love for your mother even if she has a toxic nature would only leave you with trauma and a distorted personality.

I am especially greatful for the bible passages that introduce each chapter. It's a reminder to all people, we are never alone in life, nor will we be in our everlasting one.

This includes difficult aspects of the healing process and adapting to her different life. She tells how prayer helped.

James Gottwald, Pastor I found your book very inspirational. I am very impressed. You have a talent for writing. I found myself crying in parts and smiling in others. You are truly a role model for people living with life changing events. Terry Lee My Dearest Sister in Christ, Reading your book was an inspiration. I read it in a couple of hours. You are correct. Prayer is the answer and God knows and hears all. We may not understand here on the earth but Praise God, when we all get to the other side, not only will these types of things be revealed to us, but we'll be reunited with our loved ones. Life is precious. Your book will inspire many. I pray to not take marriage for granted or take each other for granted. Love like you'll never love again. Marriage needs lots of prayer and definitely God, without him we are nothing. God Bless you both for sharing this book with me. Joan Richey

Free Play
Free Play: A Decade of Writings on Youth Sports is a collection of 70 columns and 6 blogs written around themes of play, learning, and the complexity of athlete, child, skill, and talent development for the parents of young athletes between 2007 and 2016. The book is not entirely about play, but play and related concepts, such as creativity, flow, intrinsic motivation, and physical activity, influence each column. The book is organized around 11 themes: Nature vs. nurture, talent identification, play and physical activity, motivation, early specialization, injuries, long term athlete development, the coach's role, the parent's role, learning, and athletic genius. Included are stories about our evolutionary need for play, using autonomy to enhance intrinsic motivation, changing technique to develop skills, the characteristics of great coaches, and reasons for children's sports participation. The columns discuss many popular science topics of the last decade: Deliberate practice, grit, mindset, and the 10,000-hour rule among them. Athlete, child, skill, and talent development are related, complex, and multifactorial. There are few absolutes, as every child and every situation differ. The themes are decidedly long-term; there are no short cuts or recipes to success. Many are cautionary tales about the wrong behaviors leading to unintended or unwanted outcomes. When should parents intervene in a bad situation? How should we react to mistakes? How can we embrace the natural learning process? What is success within youth sports? The columns depict changes in my life, as I coached in 3 states and 2 countries, and my thinking, as I started and completed my doctorate. I coached basketball and volleyball, high school and professional, boys and girls. I refereed youth, high school, college, and adult soccer. I taught university coaching, sports pedagogy, and motor learning courses. I founded the Playmakers Basketball Development League. My experiences provided a unique view into youth sports and talent development, as I worked on both spectrums and inside and out of the system. We underestimate play's developmental importance. Structured adult-directed experiences have replaced child-directed free play over the last two decades. We replaced the very thing that motivates participation, ignites passion, and improves learning. More free play is not the only answer, but children need and have a right to play.

Our Technicolor World
This collection of 52 poems was written by the author (David A. McLeod) over the course of the most difficult and important year of his life. Inspired by his daughters, and their relationship, he weaves together an open letter to them, in the hopes his words will remembered long after he's gone. From grit, to forgiveness, to acceptance and vulnerability, these are not the stories of a perfect father or a perfect life. They are confessions. Honest and exposed. Lessons learned through mistakes, grace, and sacrifice. This is a journal of his hopes and fears and testament to the respect and admiration he holds for his family and his role as a father.
